<h3>Background</h3> Chronic diseases, as demonstrated by the 36 million deaths they caused in 2008, are the most common cause of death worldwide. Exercise is one of the non-pharmacological treatment methods. The main objectives of exercise, one of the treatment methods, is to reduce pain, prevent loss of function in daily activities and work, and increase the quality of life, exercise capacity, and muscle strength. Although exercise benefits are known, more than half of the population does not exercise due to some exercise burden. However; there are no measurement methods assessing exercise burden patients with chronic disease. <h3>Objectives</h3> The objectives of the current study were to evaluate the Turkish validation of the Exercise Therapy Burden Questionnaire into Turkish (ETBQ-T) and to investigate its reliability and validity. <h3>Methods</h3> 100 participants (69 female and 31 male) who were diagnosed with at least 1 chronic disease participated in the translation validity, and reliability analysis of the study. Cross-culturally adaptation of the ETBQ-T was performed according to Beaton's guideline. The ETBQ-T, the European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D), pain, satisfaction, and self-efficacy were applied for convergent validity. The ETBQ-T was retested to examine its reliability after seven days. <h3>Results</h3> The internal consistency and reliability were excellent (lntraclass correlation coefficient= 0.959; Cronbach's alpha= 0.919) (Table 1). The ETBQ-T had a good correlation with pain (r = 0.564, p &lt;.001), satisfaction (r = 485, p &lt;.001), and self-efficacy (r = 0.582, p &lt;.001). However; The correlation of the ETBQ-T with EQ-5D (r = 0.364, p &lt;.001) was weak. A factor was extracted, accounting for 58.289% of the total variation. There were no floor and ceiling effects. <h3>Conclusion</h3> The ETBQ-T is a reliable and valid tool to evaluate the exercise burden in the Turkish population with chronic disease. <h3>References</h3> [1]Lim SS, Vos T, Flaxman AD, Danaei G, Shibuya K, Adair-Rohani H, et al (2012) A comparative risk assessment of burden of disease and injury attributable to 67 risk factors and risk factor clusters in 21 regions, 1990–2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010.
